tony27 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Hole is there to give a visual that 1 of the waterpump seals has let go, coolant if outboard seal & oil if in board. Easy job to replace & might as well replace the bearing at the same time & check out shaft condition Edited August 18, 2009 by tony27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weldit Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) CHEERS MATE , ARE THE SEALS AT THE BACK OF THE IMPELLER, OR DOES THE FULL CASING HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESSS THE SEALS.

shercoman2k8 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just about to do this job myself, only need to remove the left side casing, clutch cover too. http://www.sherco.com/wayne/Water_Pump_Seal_Replacement.pdf You'll find that helpful!

tony27 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Primary drive case has to come off meaning you'll need a new gasket & impeller is then unscrewed from shaft to access seals. Wayne's manual from sherco shows just how easy it is & should only take around 1/2 hour If you look at the photo on page 11 of the manual you'll see at the threaded end of the shaft 2 lines which is where seals make contact, replace if they're deep enough to snag your fingernail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
